The Finkelstein Memorial Library Board of Trustees held an emergency meeting on Wednesday and officially passed a resolution confirming that the library will not conduct a revote following Tuesday’s election.

As part of the resolution, the board also voted to keep the 2026–2027 tax levy at the same rate as the 2025–2026 fiscal year, meaning there will be no tax increase despite the originally proposed 4.5% hike being rejected by voters.

The decision comes after residents overwhelmingly voted down the proposed budget increase in Tuesday’s highly watched library election, which also saw Ariel Dahan elected to the board of trustees.

Monsey Scoop will continue to follow developments surrounding the library and any future actions taken by the board.
